![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/0/04501a7331c7bacbca6d8ddfb169915a14943c01.jpg)I bought this veggie oil fueled van last month and am going to fill it up for the first time. This filter is in the veggie oil filtration tank but I’m not sure what size it is. Can’t contact previous owner.

Measurements??

This could be 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long or 20 inches in diameter and 100 inches long. Without some reference in the picture, it is impossible to even guess.

Is there a reference number printed ANYwhere on the filter or the canister it fits into. That would help, too.

Looks like the filter we used to used in chicken broasters at the restaurant. Might want to check with a restaurant supplier. Not a pleasant Oder.

I think you’re on to something here. It also looks like the cartridge filter on my hot tub. I don’t think we’re going to find this thing at Rockauto. 😉
